Can someone please help me, I'm very new to Linux and trying to install my wifi adapter.
Have tried all sorts of websites and it's not working so I think it's best if I start again and ask for help.
I connect my wifi adapter (Alfa AWUS036ACH) my Chromebook recognises it and I allow connection to Linux.
I type lsusb and get the following:
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2T2R DB WLAN Adapter
I type iwconfig and get the following:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
What should I do next please?
Thank you
